The Greatest Show and Tell on Earth
Louisville Maker Faire is a celebration of creativity, curiosity, and hands-on invention. It’s part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new — a showcase of makers, tinkerers, artists, engineers, performers, and hobbyists of all kinds. Whether you’re into robotics, woodworking, crafts, cosplay, or just cool ideas, there’s something here to spark your imagination.

Serial Wombat Open Source Project
The Serial Wombat open source project is a collection of smart I/O expanders that I developed to make it easier for beginner and intermediate level Arduino, Raspberry Pi, MicroPython and other embedded systems makers to create projects that do multiple things at once by offloading common embedded tasks to preprogrammed offboard microcontrollers over I2C. Many Serial Wombat designs are certified Open Source Hardware designs by the Open Source Hardware Association.
